Link: Guardian Unlimited Books | Special Reports | E-read all about it. The Guardian has published a very interesting article on the threat facing traditional print publishing from electronic texts. While in many ways publishers are in a golden era with regards the number of books published (161,000 in the UK last year), they are concerned about the rise of electronic devices to allow people to read books.
It's a well argued piece from both sides of the fence and worth reading if you're interested in the future of the printed word.
